You can put the kernel source directory any where you want. The procedure
for building a kernel is as follows,
make gconfig
(This brings up a configuration GUI, you select the options that you want
and then save them in the .config file)
make all
(make everything, you can do this as a user or as root)
make modules_install
(installs the modules, you need to be root to do this)
make install
(install the kernel, also updates /etc/grub.conf or /etc/lilo.conf)
